Check out the Mixes page, there are several indigoed heads there.
Henna will make your hair red. Indigo alone tends to dye things blue,
so it's used after henna, though I don't know if that would be
necessary on black hair (anyone?) Indigo after henna gives you
bluish-black hair; how bluish I'm not entirely sure, having never
indigoed myself, but someone here should know and you can mess around
with strand tests. It probably is worth using henna in some way,
though, because henna is what gives you the fantastic conditioning
benefits, and I think the henna makes the indigo stick on the hair
better or something. It's a bit of a hassle as it's a two-step
process and you have pretty long hair, but it's worth a try.
